Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the middle of the fourteenth century, the Franciscan friar John of Rupescissa sent a dramatic warning to his followers: the last days were coming; the apocalypse was near. Deemed insane by the Christian church, Rupescissa had spent more than a decade confined in prisons-in one case wrapped in cha…ins and locked under a staircase-yet ill treatment could not silence the friar's apocalyptic message. In order to understand scientific knowledge today, Leah DeVun asks that we revisit Rupescissa's life and the critical events of his age-the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, the Avignon Papacy-through his eyes. Rupescissa treated alchemy as medicine (his work was the conceptual forerunner of pharmacology) and represents the emerging technologies and views that sought to combat famine, plague, religious persecution, and war. Rupescissa is a compelling personality, and in this book, the advances he pioneered, along with the exciting strides made by his contemporaries, shed critical light on later developments in medicine, pharmacology, and chemistry.
